[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walls used to be more prestigious. They got rid of the entry test and have watered down academic standards. [/quote]

The college admissions were pretty impressive last year.  What other measures do you have for this claim? [/quote]

College admissions were OK but not great, given the size of the school.  You can’t just look at the handful who got into T10 colleges.

Plus, that graduating class was admitted with the Walls old admissions test. [/quote]

Quite a few kids went to top schools-at least seven are at Ivies. The majority of middle-class and UMC families don't care about T25(not T10 BS you made up) colleges. It's about merit-based aid and scholarships! SWW does a good job in that aspect.

I know kids that turned down Ivies for full rides at other schools. Parents that are able pay are not even buying in anymore. It's about ROI not some imaginary prestige. [/quote]

Last year’s college admissions were very good. But that class took the entrance exam and there were a lot of bright motivated kids in that class. I have no idea how consistent the makeup of the class is year to year [/quote]
